I'm pretty sure that summers before kids usually meant road trips, campfires, and beach days. Don't get me wrong, we still do all of that, but things have changed just a little.

For all the parents out there spending this summer worried about pee in the pool, road trip snacks, and how much sunscreen a kid really needs, these pictures are for you!

I hid in a refrigerator box in the back yard and I heard voices, where is mommy ? I don't know, she was here a few minutes ago, maybe she is in the garage or the back yard, send the dogs to find mom, I cringed at that and the next thing there are three noses inside the box, large border collie mix Shepard, gray hound mix lab, massive mix ? HOT, I can't breath they are making themselves comfortable tails wagging on the outside of the box and I hear, FOUND HER !

    I’m sure kids are time consuming but there are millions of parents who still make time for friends and hobbies. Every moment isn’t meant just for your children. Mothers are still people.

    Speaking from second hand experience. Most of these mothers' friends are mothers too and they hang out in the park or at each other's home with both of their kids by their side. When the kids get old enough for kindergarten, then they can think about other kinds of friendship, hobbies, even employment. Her toddler doesn't look like kindergarten age yet. So for now she doesn't have that time yet. Although, as we see, maybe for hee hobbies a little bit, since she's taking these photos and posting them online. I believe she will become one of the milions of parents you're talking about when the kid gets old enough, but for now it must be feeling like an eternity for her.

    i feel so guilty, in retrospect, for the size beach bag my mom used to haul to the beach. My dad carried the chairs and the enormous metal umbrella, and I complained about having to carry my own bag of sand toys. They told me flat out: if you want to play with them, you have to carry them yourself. I thought it was so MEAN. I'd completely do the same to any kid today. Just load them up like a tiny burro.

    When my parents went on vacation for the first time with me I was just two year old. We met up with my aunt and uncle in a town 3 hours away. first thing I say when we get there is "Are we in vacation now? Is this vacation?" We still had 6+ hours to drive to Sweden :)

    My mother was awful with gardening and no one in the family helped her. But I really appreciate that she never gave up and she still tries to grow living plants at her garden even though it usually fails. I also try nowadays grow something on my balcony every summer but that usually fails. :)
